Agenda 2008 The American Presidency

Facing the Character Crisis in America

Taken from the "Forward" to Facing the Character Crisis in America by John J. DeGioia, President, Georgetown University:

"Upon recieving a Doctorate of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa, from his alma mater Georgetown University in February 2006, Ambassador David Abshire spoke on the crises of character in American leadership - a topic of crucial importance today. In view of Dr. Abshire's astounding career as an institution builder, a public servant, and a mentor to young people, few American leaders are better suited to reflect upon this topic."
